Great news!
Friends of the Hound won the "Biggest Heart" Award of the Paws & Claws Awards for Charity on Saturday 16th August, 2008. A truly wonderful result showcasing the dedication and efforts of the group, and the support and empathy being generated for Greyhounds and their plight.
It was a surprising and prestigous result considering the calibre of the other nominees for this category.
A big THANK YOU to all those that voted for us.
We appreciate your acknowledgement and support.
The Friends of the Hound Greyhound Adoption Group, through a grant made possible by Voiceless, the fund for animals, has produced glossy A3 posters to promote awareness of Greyhounds and their suitability as pets. It is aimed at raising the profile of Greyhounds by creating a positive image and providing some simple facts for the public to ponder.
Each year in Australia thousands of Greyhounds are destroyed for no other reason than they become surplus to racing industry requirements. For Greyhounds it is...
the quick, or the dead.
Through our Greyhound awareness campaign and ongoing rescue and rehoming efforts we hope to reduce the number of beautiful, healthy Greyhounds being killed each year.
We ask that you support this campaign and contact us if you are able to assist with the distribution of these posters for display in vet clinics, animal shelters, pet shops, produce stores and any other participating outlet providing the exposure needed.
Thanks to those who have already offered their help.
